Xcode is a powerful suite of free development tools from AppleComputer that will allow you to create Macintosh applications,plug-ins, web components, applets, and more using languages such asC, C++, Objective-C, Java, and AppleScript.
What you will learn from this book:
* Control window layout to match your development style.
* Master source file organization.
* How to access a source control management system, right in theXcode interface.
* How to quickly navigate to files, symbols, bookmarks,declarations, and definitions within your project; find referencedocuments and instantly access API documentation.
* Harness Xcode's smart editing features, such asauto-indent, code completion, and text macros.
* Discover how easy it is to browse class information and createdynamic class diagrams.
* Get started using Xcode's Interface Builder and DataModeling design tools.
* Learn to customize target build phases, add your own compilers,write your own build processes, and integrate Xcode with otherbuild tools like Ant and gnumake.
* How to create and integrate unit tests into your projects.
* Harness the full power of the debugger with smart breakpointsand custom data formatters. Learn how to change variables, and evenfix bugs, while your program is still running.
* Start using Xcode's suite of performance analysis toolsto find problems and accelerate your code.
* Customize scores of hidden, and often undocumented, Xcodefeatures. Learn how to remap keyboard commands, create your ownproject and file templates, and even add your own commands to theXcode menus.
Instead of "cookbook" projects specific to a particularlanguage, developer James Bucanek details each Xcode feature withstep-by-step instructions that can be applied directly to yourprojects. Example projects that demonstrate a single concept makeit easy to explore each feature.
